Pros

Easy money, good perks, employee friendly compensation/perk policies. Comparable to the best in industry. Good work life balance. Just get involved in current active politics and let someone else use brain to define tasks. Welcome to a service company. Good for people who wanted to retire in same job with good retirement funds.

Cons

Culture - Non technical management No plans for teams other then Maintenance of legacy software. Service industry culture. Most of teams are vendor replacement. Hiring - Easy to get hired as interviewer are non competent. No standards across teams for sde levels. You will find 10 year experience person working in profile of sde2 and a 2 year experience person working on same profile. Favouritism works across all ranks and is the only way to move up.

Pros

Constant state of transformation is ripe environment for new hires and functional experts from big name tech companies

Cons

Pre-covid the culture was really special. Collaborative, engaging, people-centric, with a unifying mission to enable travel for the world. Since covid there has been a revolving door of executive leadership, and with each round, they throw out the current strategy to try something "new" without building from the current or past successes. Constant change, but no clear vision or strategy of what they are trying to change to. Lack of strategy and low risk tolerance leads to too many priorities with not enough investment to move the needle in anything. Quarterly layoffs, but executed quietly team by team so as not to make news. No psychological safety. Talent strategy since covid is to hire externally over internal promotions to gain "functional expertise" therefore difficult to grow your career. Siloed divisions not working towards common goal. Lacks operating model maturity needed for a company of this size likely do to revolving door of execs and priorities. A cash cow company with an identity crisis trying to be an AI innovator. Build vs buy mentality slows them down. Too many exec pet projects that aren't vetted with proper business cases.
